The Construction Industry is the backbone of the UK economy. 2.9 million people are employed in it, and it contributes £90 million annually (ref. Competitive Advantage). Seeing as it’s such as massive part of our lives, obviously this brings environmental concerns when it comes to waste disposal. In this blog post, therefore, we have highlighted some of those concerns, especially those which are most prominent here in the North-West.

Storing hazardous waste
When storing hazardous materials, it’s essential that you use specialised equipment – whether it’s a container or a drum – you have the responsibility of keeping the waste secured and locked away – preventing any harm or pollution! You must also label the container with a suitable description, ensuring other people know exactly what is inside (therefore you’re not compromising their safety either) and making it easier for when someone collects your hazardous waste.
Waste collections
Are you working on a construction site?
North West Waste can arrange to collect ALL your hazardous waste – providing you with a Full Duty of Care documentation pack. There is no need for you to disrupt your project, NWWC will arrange to collect any waste at your convenience.
Audit trails Duty of Care
It is advisable for you to record as much detail as you can with regards to any hazardous waste that you have produced – right up until it is disposed of (Duty of Care). If you have a record for the safe disposal of hazardous waste, it should be kept safe and organised. If you are removing any hazardous materials, you must have a signed consignment note and once the waste has been dealt with a consignee return will be sent out to you (these must be kept for 3 years).
At North West Waste Consultants, we understand that the regulations are not straightforward, hence why we provide you with a wealth of industry expertise and information that can educate you on the importance of hazardous waste disposal.
